"A successful evening for Scotland Yard the wolf pack destroyed, but at the cost of three brave constables. Without the brave assistance of the public and some large Northern Johnnies this may have been a terrible evening for our fine city. the very heart of the Empire!"
The game was played using the forthcoming excellent Fistful of Lead supplement Tales of Horror which will be available to purchase at Salute along with a new range of 28mm Gothic Horror miniatures. More news on those shortly! :)

"Stinker saw off three of the buggers before any other of us 'ad a chance to do a tad of bashing. There was bobbies around an all so it looked like we'd better 'ave off before we got fingered again but then a bloody wolf on 'is 'ind legs jumped owt o bloody nowhere and started 'aving a pop at the bobbies!"

"This ere wolf on his 'hind legs were a bugger to bring down though and it took me an most o t'lads to do 'im over. Even though 'e smelt like a dead wet dog, we saw 'im good and proper and I did catch eye of a white wolf on 'is 'ind legs tryin to get them other bobbies but by the time we'd finished wi ours it'd scarpered."

Yowl, wuff, wuff, hooowl. (Lady Chuffclencher was at pains to point out that the Limehouse bylaws specifically stated that large dogs must be kept on a lead)

Brilliant! Excellent photos there and an entertaining write up. I'm looking forward to getting a Tales of Horror game in soon.
